Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Lime Dressing
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the salad ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Make the lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey if using, and salt and pepper until fully emulsified and smooth.
- Toss the salad: Drizzle the prepared lime dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together, taking care not to mash the avocados, to evenly coat the salad in the dressing.
- Serve immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the salad fresh right after tossing to enjoy the creamy avocado and the bright zing of lime dressing.
Notes
- To prevent avocado browning, serve the salad immediately after preparation.
- Honey in the dressing is optional and can be omitted for a vegan version.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste according to your preference.
- This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
